I've had such a rough week! I feel tired all the time and run down. I haven't been ill since Christmas before last and I don't do being ill very well! After not racing at the weekend I took it easy on Sunday as still felt a bit run down. Just did an easy bike ride on Monday, then Tuesday went for a run after work and felt really good. HR was in the right place for a steady run and I was running quite fast. About an hour after getting back I couldn't stop coughing and was up during the night with coughing fits. I ended up taking Wednesday off work sick and slept most of the day!

I took it easy for the rest of the week as I have a french duathlon race next week and can't be ill for that! I'm not a good person to be around when I can't train - I feel sorry for Dan having to put up with me moaning - mostly about feeling fat!
